All About Pocket Knives

I recently got these three mini trappers. All are tang stamped PARKER EDWARDS, all Damascus.

Each two blade has the pattern # 95145 marked. The one blade has pattern # 95155.

Wondering what the handle material is?

The two two-blade knives each have the same pattern number, but the handles appear different.

It is a natural material but does not resemble any bone or stag that I have ever seen.

Each knife has serial number 018 on the bolster.

Steve, do we get to see pictures, or is this another of the quiz games you torture us with ?

AAAARRRRGGGGHH...so easy to forget that step.. thanks

Steve: I just saw this post now. I seem to remember that they referred to the darker two knives as having stag handles. It looks like bone(maybe camel bone)that has been treated with a torch and then the ends ground down. Here are pics of two earlier Parker knives that have similar handles.

Steve, Jim listed the bottom two as Sambar stag. John

Yes, the bottom two look like some Parker-Edwards Damascus Lockbacks I have that were sold as Stag. I have always felt it was a possibilty that they may be second cut stag or a European Stag. I do not believe mine were sold as Sambar Stag.
